DFID 40094252 Strategic Agricultural Sector and Food Security Diagnostic for Bangladesh

Descriptions

Actual CPV code is ‘75211200 Foreign Economic-Aid Related Services’. Objective The motivation for undertaking an analysis of the agricultural – crops, horticulture, livestock, forestry – and fisheries sectors in Bangladesh is to better understand the economic and political barriers that act to reduce productivity below potential and slow inclusive growth. Given the importance of agriculture to poverty reduction and livelihoods of over half of the population in Bangladesh the study will assess what is needed for the sector to overcome to place it on a higher growth path. It will also fit in to a broader body of knowledge that is being developed to help inform policy makers and donors of agriculture’s role and actions that need to be taken to facilitate transformation within the sector or how best agriculture can facilitate transformation in other sectors in Bangladesh. This study will therefore complement forthcoming work that will be undertaken through the Economic Dialogue on Inclusive Growth in Bangladesh programme.
